    Post economic collapse game plan

    You ask them to believe in them so that they can be saved from eternal damnation. No matter what anyone has done in this life, I do not want them to be damned for eternity without any hope. If you were driving a car at 80 mph and the bridge was out, wouldnt you want people who knew the...

    GOP candidate claims same sex marriage could lead to a man marrying his horse...

    Its not even the fact that people would marry their horse or dog because they really love it...people would marry their dog, then get the extra standard deduction for being married on their taxes. Not to mention if the dog has like 6 puppies, you get an EIC credit for 6 children. A single...

    Post economic collapse game plan

    You do understand that if that happened, that gives you 100% proof that God is real, and you will likely end up in hell because you didnt get taken. You will enjoy your last days on earth before spending eternity burning. Hope it was worth it. But then again, if that does happen, then you...

    Post economic collapse game plan

    Revelation 6:6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" For those of you that dont know,a quart of wheat is enough to feed a man...

    Post economic collapse game plan

    Just wondering, but can you think of any time & place in history where a person that had cash and/or PMs could not buy food & water with it? I mean in any hyperinflationary or deflationary state, was there anyone that said "No...I dont want that worthless yellow metal for my potatos" I might...

    Should minimum wage be lowered?

    Ask yourself where the jobless would be today if minimum wage wasnt where its at today. If minimum wage was still 5 bucks per hour, there would be 50% more minimum wage Jobs which would probably put unemployment at 5%. If you are a store owner and you have 15 bucks per hour to pay employees...

    Should minimum wage be lowered?

    If you have a couple of kids, you get between $3-5k in your taxes every year. So you dont really have to save, you get a lump sum every year. Its kind of like getting $250-$400 per month extra if you add in the EIC. Dont forget, if you make min wage and have kids, you get WIC and food...

    Should minimum wage be lowered?

    I've gone close to two weeks without eatting. First few days are hard...next few days are easy, then its pure suffering after that. Its actually a funny story. I was working for near min wage ($4.40 per hour when min wage was 4.25) and roommate bailed out on me. Had to cover her half of the...

    20 reasons why the US Economy is dying and is simply not going to recover

    My favorite is #18 So where will the U.S. government get the money? From the Federal Reserve of course. The Federal Reserve bought approximately 80 percent of all U.S. Treasury securities issued in 2009. In other words, the U.S. government is now being financed by a massive Ponzi scheme

    Should minimum wage be lowered?

    Basically you want me to add in all the stuff that the government has screwed with in the last 60 years to this? Cant do it as its not a fair analysis then. Anything that the government has heavily taxed, or heavily subsidized has gotten alot more expensive in terms of the wage vs price...

    Should minimum wage be lowered?

    Had to look...its a little hard to get 1940s information, but here is what i found for food. Keep in mind that in 1949, min wage was 40 cents until nearly 1950, so most of these prices are from 1944 to 1948. 2 hours of min wage would buy you a little less than 2 pounds of Coffee. Today...

    Should minimum wage be lowered?

    What are your thoughts on this...before you answer...lets look at what minimum wage buys... In 1949 if you worked for min. wage over the summer by the end of it you would have enough money to buy a smith corona typewriter, 35mm camera, am-fm radio, and a 3-speed phonograph. In 2009...

    The case against college

    Thats exactly why the government should not be giving loans/grants to people for college. A degree is has almost no value anymore. If everyone stopped going to college, then those who paid for college out of their own pocket would have degrees that were worth something. I remember my...

    Average daily profit with $50K account?

    So hard to answer that question. Personally, I think you should start with 25k and see how much you generate that way. I mean you have days where you make $500-$1000 per day, every day for a few weeks, then you might have one bad day where you lose 5k. Or vice versa. I dont think you can...

    Pope implicated in covering up sex abuse:

    These crimes are being done by the same homosexuals you let run free in your cities and act as if they are normal, fighting for their "rights". Dont think that this is a Catholic thing with young boys being molested. Its not...its a homosexual thing as they are molesting boys in every walk...

    Allow me to re-introduce the Christ

    Its no use talking to him. He claims to be Christ and at the same time rejects anything in the bible that goes against his thinking(which is nearly everything) His thinking is this buddist hippy type drug induced revelation that makes him think he is God or that he was "chosen" One day he...
